Notes
- Again, thanks to Hans Devente for transferring and sharing these XTC gems!

- This soundcheck is quite a bit different than the previous one from their
  appearance in Apeldoorn, NL, which has also been circulated. This soundcheck
  sees far fewer songs performed, and only a few performed in their entirety.
  Perhaps this is more of a remark on their maturation as a band. This sound-
  check focusses less of being certain they know how to play their tracks  and
  more on making sure things sound the way they want them to and a general warmup.

- This soundcheck is now the only known source of 'It's Nearly Africa' performed
  in a live setting. Unfortunately, it's and incomplete performance and Andy only
  sings the first verse. On the other hand, it's very cool to hear the guys play
  this song. Having heard it here, I'd bet this would've made its way into the
  set had XTC stayed a touring band for a little while longer.

Set List:
01. Intro
02. London's Burning
